Comment (by rmccue):

 Also occurs if you use `update_option` later rather than adding with
 `null`:

 {{{
 add_option( 'testingkeynew', 'oldvalue' );
 update_option( 'testingkeynew', 'firstvalue' );
 update_option( 'testingkeynew', null );
 update_option( 'testingkeynew', 'secondvalue' );
 delete_option( 'testingkeynew' );
 var_dump( get_option( 'testingkeynew', 'default' ) );
 }}}
